all ideas i had. what did you do with the sand? Im thinking of just keeping a little water in the bottom of the tanks so it just stays wet. Not sure how to keep it warm other than straping heat pads to the bottom of the tank. I guess the good thing is i have all my corals on small pieces of...

yes on the shrimp. Sixline wrasse, in your 55 a dwarf angel after a couple of months. Make it your last fish. Pair of clowns. Any cardinal, blue and yellow tail damsels, or green chromis. royal gramma, there are others i can't remember. I hit the majority though.

how long have you had him? I hate to tell you horseshoe crabs need a much larger tank than what you have. They go through the sand very quickly and eat it bare. Unless you feed him yourself he will inevitably starve to death. Most likely hes in his initial death throes. I've seen it plenty...

Just wanted some ideas on how to do this. I have fish, live rock, sps, lps, softies, and shrooms. I have ideas on what to do but wanted some input. Its got to be bullet proof for 24-48 hours is the only stipulation. Thanks.

The one sammy has i believe stays the smallest if you want to get one for a smaller tank...

I think he has Maroons breeding. There is a guy here in Raleigh breeding maroons.

I gotcha. Its going to take a while for things to look "good" :) Try gently blowing off the sand in one spot every day. If you mass do it it just rearranges the sand in different spots.

To many fingers per polyp for alveopora and goniopora. Try getting a picture with the polyps closed so we can see the skeleton its growing. That should put things to rest.

Did you buy your rock as base rock or live rock? I hate to say but it looks pretty barren. I would try and find a nice 3 or 4 lb piece that prefferably has been in a tank for a year or so and place it in yours. It should spread pretty quickly to the rock you have.

Gill is one of the hardest fish to keep. And definitely cannot fit in a 30 :) But the royal gramma and clown can. 2 clowns and a gramma can fit plus one more fish but before you do anything start reading the stuff in the beginners forum and buy a book....

Don't you hate those TPS reports?

You can trust what they say. But keep in mind there is no one way to do a tank. There are alot of options out there. Those guys know me :) At least the one guy who likes to ramble knows me. If you want some other good advice go by fish pros on hillsborough after 6 on tuesdays or thursdays...

I thought it was a gimp fin not a missing one :)

Wiggles - Perc Streak and Meany - Green Chromis Blue and Tiny - Blue and Yellow tails There's also crazy crab but thats just because he looks crazy.

Try the rock it's on down in the sand. Don't submerge the rock because the kenya obviously can't attatch to the sand but try placing it in a shady spot and see how it does. You have enought light period in that tank to sustain it wherever you put it so i wouldn't worry about that... Next...

Hmm. well maybe they are. I can barely see them as it is. Oh well. Difference in mysid and mysis? Im guessing yes and we have mysid.

Usually if they starve it will be after 9-12 months. If you see them get some food thawed out and place them over the food. If you see a leg pull them out gently and spot feed it. Eventually those 2 stars will clean the sand bed completely and be unable to find any food thus starving.

Their description doesn't seem like what i've got. These guys swim out in the front of the tank where the current is certainly not dead as the site suggests these guys swim in. I dunno. I'm sure they make great food for my corals at night :)

Really? But mysis are so much bigger...? Or does the genus come in varius sizes? I've never seen the big ones in my tank. These guys are barely bigger than the isopods i have.

Geez, where was i looking eh? :)
